DOG SHOW

It is a lot of fun going to a Dog Show.  This one in South Africa happened purely by chance but what an afternoon it turned out to be.  For me as a sketcher, it was pure joy.  There were all breeds of dog, some really quirky owners and lots of competitive behaviour both by the canines and the proud exhibitors.  It has always been surmised that dogs and owners tend to look alike.  This might be true for some but a very large lady and a tiny puffed and groomed little pom certainly do not have anything in common physically.  
There were tents and caravans and doggy faces popped out from windows and doors.  Many were patiently and sometimes very impatiently (particularly the terriers) being combed and brushed.  Paws had to be lifted one by one to make sure each toenail was perfectly cut and filed.  

There were stalls selling everything for dogs.  I even saw a black tuxedo top with a bow tie.  Totally crazy and over the top beds and food bowls ranging from the tiniest to huge ones.  

Well for fun, I thought I would share with you some of my sketches and here they are. Hope they put a smile on a few faces.
